“…By 1991, when inhabitants took to the street after a security guard of a nearby supermarket killed Djamel Chettouh, Les Indes had joined other “infamous” projects that symbolized the purported need of the state to restore order and prevent “ghettos” from forming in France. By then, demolition had already become a tactic to “valorize estates” and counter “social disturbances”, be these localized confrontations with police or mass mobilizations like the Marches pour l ’ égalité et contre le racisme from 1983 to 1985 (Abdallah :161; see also Abdallah ).…”

This paper analyses the programme of redeveloping housing estates in France overseen by the Agence Nationale de la Rénovation Urbaine (ANRU). Under this programme social housing reconstruction is undertaken in a nationally coordinated fashion in order to “valorize”, “secure” and socially “mix” estates. The paper highlights the political and neo‐colonial aspects of this programme and the wider state spatial strategies it is part of. Redevelopment projects not only further gentrifying land‐rent valorization, state rescaling and territorially stigmatizing symbolic violence; they also reorganize territorial relations of domination in multiple, also racialized, neo‐colonial and partly hegemonic ways. In a longer view, they respond to the “urban revolution” of 1968 (Garnier) and to the “anti‐colonial revolution” of independence and anti‐racist movements (Khiari). The paper builds on a framework that articulates marxist (Lefebvrean) and anti‐colonial (Fanonian) lineages while drawing on research on the neo‐colonial aspects of the French state.
